This is my small collection of cacti and succulents after one year

In this week's episode, I'm in my small greenhouse taking a look at my growing collection of cacti and succulents a year one from my joining the British Cactus and Succulent Society. Which genera have I fallen hard for? Which specimens have been removed from the collection? Featuring ariocarpus, Lophophora, copiapoa, astrophytum, agave...

Absolutely incredible collection! And after only one year?? Dangggggggggg

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Thanks! Over here there's only a handful of nurseries so getting to auctions is the only way to build a collection of more mature plants. I'm really happy with what I've put together so far!

[@brad823]

Very nice. I like'em.

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Glad you like them!

[@armadillobunny8695]

Your Lophophora williamsii staging with the slate and Totoro looks really good!

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Northerncacti2021]

Nice, bro. 🎉

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Thanks! ✌

I started collecting cactus 26 years ago. It's addictive, you need to know. ;)

[@greatnorthernexotic]

It's definitely a slippery slope! Which genera are you interested in? I'm currently diving into a rabbit hole of aztekium and geohintonia.

[@scotty2hotty8311]

Looking forward to it bro I cleared everything not opuntia out the greenhouse today put it back in the porch probably give em all away next year barrels and columner 🌵😎

[@greatnorthernexotic]

How long have you been collecting? This year I've found myself being brutal with the cacti I don't really like, gradually replacing them with what I enjoy collecting. With such a small greenhouse I know I have to be strict with the number I can grow. On another note, starting the arid bed shelter this week for a video next weekend!

[@cai_bosch]

Do you heat the greenhouse in the winter mate?

[@greatnorthernexotic]

I do, I have a small bar heater with a thermostat. I explain the setup in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZW6kqSdrJeSa7c

i cant say ive seen a grafted cinerea look so normal! u said u got it for like 100 pounds? what a damn steal. if u degrafted or buried it i dont think people would be able to tell.

[@greatnorthernexotic]

£100 for the full haul, £55 for the cinerea! I'm not knowledgeable (or brave) enough to degraft but I will bury the grafting stock eventually. Should be fine with 100% inorganic and I won't be watering it until spring.
